How can I get source package from unstable when in squeeze?
$ apt-get source util-linux /t unstable Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done W: Ignore unavailable target release 'grml' of package 'util-linux' E: Unable to find a source package for
$ apt-get source util-linux /tunstable Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done W: Ignore unavailable target release 'grml' of package 'util-linux' E: Unable to find a source package for
Why is that?
FYI, get a specific version (from unstable) works:
$ apt-cache policy util-linux util-linux: Installed: 2.17.2-3 Candidate: 2.17.2-3 Version table: *** 2.17.2-3 0 50 http://cdn.debian.net unstable/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2.16.2-0 0 360 http://cdn.debian.net testing/main Packages
$ apt-get source util-linux=2.17.2-3 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Need to get 5378kB of source archives. Get:1 http://cdn.debian.net unstable/main util-linux 2.17.2-3 (dsc) [1481B] . . .

Read the E: line yourself, it says something like: E: Unable to find a source package for /t This means /t testing is not interpreted as a option but as a normal argument. / is typically used in windows for command options but on unix its typically -.
You should use -t testing for your command and it will work, e.g. ,---- | apt-get -t testing source util-linux `----
Oh and make source that you have the corresponding deb-src entry in your sources.list{.d}
